Almost finished with my new build.

Some pics attached. Think I went over board on the oil streaking and interior chipping.

Any comments or advice appreciated.

This is my 2nd build in 35 years!

Thank you

I like your weathering and the wear-and-tear on the interior. I don't think it's overdone, but rather, subtle. A little more, and it might be too much, for a vehicle that probably didn't last long enough to accumulate that much wear.

I like the weathering. Makes it look like a tank at the end of it's life. Pantherman

Thanks for the good words.

I'm hesitant when it comes to chipping so I always think it's overdone.

I like chipping as an artistic technique but not as a representation of reality. It's rare to see a military vehicle chipped up as badly as you see some models. Of course there are exceptions----especially in combat. The orders of the squadron commanders would declare most vehicles to be in inspection ready condition-----again there are exceptions.

This can be another thread in itself

Looks great, the chipping looks good. I love the dust on the sides.

Looks good to me
